# 247 - Tennis
Continuing the Modern Commemoratives Dollar series, we will present you today the 1996-D "Olympic Tennis" graded by PCGS MS70.
All coins of this series weight 26.73g with 90% silver purity. They were issued in Proof and Brilliant Uncirculated finish.
They will be presented in the order they were minted.
This coin was issued as part of an ambitious range of commemorative coins issued for the XXVI Olympiad Summer Games held in Atlanta, Georgia.
The obverse of the coin features a woman playing tennis about to hit the ball.
The reverse features a design used in common for all of the 1996 Olympic Silver Dollars issued, a modernistic Olympic torch. The base of the torch is created with the number “100” representing the centennial and the Olympic logo.
A total of 15,983 coins were minted in Denver. The issue price was U$34.95. The actual price is around U$360.00 in this grade.
This series will continue very soon.
I hope you have enjoyed this article.

As this coin is not proof, it does not shine like the others that you have been showing us, but it is very beautiful...
Yes, it is a very "clean" coin.
Tennis!!!! In high school, I 'legally' wore a school letter jacket for being in the varsity team!
When I was at college I started playing tennis, but I was an awful player and I was "forced" to give up...
